Skeleton is a lightweight, responsive CSS boilerplate (~400 lines of vanilla CSS) that styles raw HTML elements and provides a 12-column fluid grid for mobile-friendly development. It is a starting point for small projects rather than a full UI framework, requiring no compiling or installation.

Use cases

• kickstart a small responsive website
• build a mobile-friendly landing page without a heavy framework
• get a simple 12-column responsive grid with plain CSS
• prototype a web page quickly with zero build tooling
• style raw HTML elements with a minimal baseline
• avoid installing or compiling CSS frameworks

When to choose

• you're building a small project or simple site
• you want vanilla CSS with no build step
• you need just a responsive grid and basic element styling
• you find larger frameworks like Bootstrap overkill

When to avoid

• you need a full UI component library with widgets and themes
• you're building a large, complex application needing utility classes
• you want Sass/LESS tooling out of the box (community extensions exist but aren't official)
• you need modern CSS features or active ongoing development
